Fabric book cover

Working with fabric paint I coloured the white cotton fabric then stamped a variety of stamped images in various colours  Once this had dried and heat set I added net lace and ribbon held in place with hand and machine stitching  The cover fits over an A5 book - and I can remove the cover to wash or change to another book
